Rare Drams imports Rare and Hard to find Whiskies from Scotland
Some of our Drams are single cask - single malts from virtually any distillery you can think of (see map). From the well known Laphroaig and Macallan to the lesser known Royal Lochnagar right down to the "Lost Distilleries" such as Port Ellen, Littlemill and Rosebank.
The scotch, resting dormant in the cask is bottled for your pleasure without any changes to the "amber nectar" inside.This provides a unique taste in every cask produced.

BRAND PROFILE /HISTORY
Through the mid nineteenth century in Glasgow, a Local blended Whisky
was sold directly from barrels then decanted into the customers own ceramic
containers.
Due to its exceptional quality , this whisky was endearingly referred to as the
KING OF SCOTS and so it was that in 1886 the brand was first officially reg
istered.
From the Single Malt Experts Douglas Laing , this exceptional
Blended Scotch has long been rigorously controlled – This is a
true sipping Scotch which can be enjoyed straightup –
yet is robust enough to work extremely well over ice
or with your favourite mixer….even Irn Bru !!
Now for the first Time in BC

Very limitted quantities
Each bottle comes with it's own numbered certificate. Rich and golden color in the bottle, it carries an equally rich and full flavoured Islay nose with balanced smoke and coastal aromas of soft tar, iodine, rock pools, seaweed and "Arbroath Smokies". The palate essentailly replicates the nose with expected Islay phenolic traits initally but displays incredibly sweet bonfire ashes later. The finish is long, smokey, still oceanic and rather sweet.
**the bottle shown is not Laphroaig however packaging is identical**
Only 5% of all casks are good enough to be used as single cask bottlings.
Casks hold limited quantities, ranging from 200 - 600 bottles,
when they are gone, they're gone !
